“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.
Walter Rauschenbusch

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Happy NEW YEAR >>>>2023 !!! (AFTERQUILT made)

 You know the saying, "whatever you do on the first day of the year is what you'll find yourself  doing ALL YEAR" ?          

Well, I took that to heart, and with this day falling on a Sunday, I went to church and worshiped the LORD ! 

Then to make it a doubly-good year, I came home and finished piecing an "after-quilt"

   These are FAVORITE fabrics that I have held onto for a long time (some of them), and a four-seasons panel, along with a bicycle panel (another of my loves--bicycles)
 

 for my most recent orphan-blocks quilt-top, (photo below)

 

  (I observe a Sabbath day of rest on Saturday).  

I realized as I was piecing this PUZZLE (that I designed), that I am not a traditional quiltmaker.  People will ask me, "what is the name of the pattern you're working on now? "  Well,...most often it's a conglomeration (such as this back) where I just make things up until I can call it a quilt.  I'm not big on repetition.  

But, anyway, I'm not staying at this post for long........just really wanted to document the making of this back, and what I was doing on this first day of 2023.

I hope you got to spend some time doing what you enjoy most, and that this year brings you closer to the LORD, which will naturally also bring you many days of joy !

HAPPY NEW YEAR !
